Title:   Tau physics: status and prospects

Abstract:

The tau lepton provides a powerful tool for studying physics both in and beyond the Standard Model. I will
review recent progress, coming mainly from the large samples of tau-pair events available at the B-factory
experiments, and I will discuss the prospects for tau physics at the LHC and at super B and tau-charm
factories.
